Colonel W. W. CIapp; the Yice-presi-
dent, is the manager OF the Boston Jour
nal, the leading Republican paper of New
England. He is native of Boston, and
before becoming connected with the
Journal in 1865 was the editor of the Sat
urday Evening Gazette. He has mixed
somewhat in politics, aud was formerly
state senator and member of the Boston
City Council. The prosperity of the Bos-
ton Journal, whose morning and evening
edition reaches every part of New En-
gland, shows the carefulness and success
of Colonel Clapp's management.
The association has an energetic secre-
tary in W. Il. Brearley of the Detroit
News, VINO receives all the applications
for membership and keeps up the
records. He is foTty-one years old and
native of Michigan. After honorable ser
vice in the rebellion, in which. he began
his soldering when only sixteen years
old, he drifted into newspaper work, and
since 1873 has had much to do with the
good fortunes of the Detroit Evening
News, of which he is the business mana
ger.
The treasurer, W. G. Bryant, of the
Brooklyn Times, is young man whose
careful business training has well qualF
fed him for the position. Much ofsahe
success of the Brooklyn Times is due to
Mr.. Bryant's intelligent management of
its advertising patronage and the pushing
OF it's circulation.
j. A Butler, the chairman of the 1850
ciation's executive committee, upon
which most of its work will devolve, is
associated with his brother in the control
of the Buffalo News, which fourishes
under their management.
The west has its representative on the
committee in W. j. Richards, who makes
the Indianapolis News bright, we'll read
paper by judicious fostering of its al
vertising, while pushiPg it's circulation at
the same time.
The fact that E. P. Call, the third of
the committee, is the manager Of the ad-
vertising department of that Boston
power, the Herald, argues well for his
fitness for the position, and shows that
the associations interests will be well
taken care of. If he should put the same
energy into bringing the newspaper pub-
fishers Of America together as he has into
making the Herald read all over New
the associations success Is as
sured.
In c. H. Jones, the manager of the
(Fla) Times-Union and
president of the National Editorial Asso-
citation, the new south has one of the
best eXponeuts of its recent rapid prog
ress, and the association has valuable
Mr.. Jones has msde his
paper far better than anything Florida
has ever seen before.
It is the boast of S. II. Kaufman that
the Washington Star, with which he is
connected, can say that ono other news
paper in the world has so full Circula-
ton as this in the city in which it IS pub
lished.n This shows we'll for the push
and enterprise of Mr.. Kaufman, because
Washington is not generally regarded as
the most favorable place in the world for
1t shows also his fitness to
be a member of the executive committee.
With such officers it is no wonder that
the association is making rapid progress,
and it is believed that as its aims and
purposes become better known to news
paper publishers its membership will be
swelled far beyond its present numbers.
The executive committee Will hold a
meeting at the Aston house, New York
city, to-day, April 20, at p. m, for the
purpose of % selecting a suite of
headquarter rooms; (2) engaging an
agent; 90 adopting rules for his guild
